hello.

firstly i would like to say "great site" im new to the xda world and this site has been very useful.

secondly i would like to say sorry for my dumb question.

i have an o2 ignito which i understand is a htc diamond. , google maps takes up to 15 mins to connect with gps and it is my understanding that update of the radio / rom would fix this, would i lose anything? (i mean features , touchflo etc) which one is the best to get etc etc

im sorry for dumb question but i was hopin to find some good gps software but at 15 mins to connect i want to cry

Hi Tango. Firstly you should make sure the QuickGPS is up to date. This will significantly improve response times. If this doesn't work, then I would suggest changing your radio. Don't worry - this doesn't delete your other settings. You can try as many as you like of these until you find one that suits you and your location.

Good luck.

I've come across an article in pocketnow.com which reveals the WM 7 specs. I'm planning to purchase rhodium this june. Does this mean that Rhodium is not capable of running WM7?

You guys think I have to wait until WM7 was released?

Article: http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=news&id=7379
[General Questions and Answers] skulk3r:
those specs seem quite high, but i wouldn't be surprised if that's around the ball-park of the specs required.

This depends on whether or not you can wait that long - WM7 is bound to have delays on the release date, and devices that support WM7 will be quite expensive when first released (not that Rhodium isn't). I estimate that WM7 should not be available until 2010, possibly a year from now (if not longer)...so it depends on whether or not you can wait that long.

On the plus side, i'm sure all the awesome devs at xda can cook up a good ROM or two for the older phones, much like how they have cooked WM6.5 for older HTC phones! ;)
[General Questions and Answers] porsche996:
Well that's comforting. 2010 is a year from now. Thanks for the reply. Will be purchasing Rhodium this june then.
[General Questions and Answers] galaxys:
the way things are going with MS releases, we'll be lucky to C WM7 next year!
[General Questions and Answers] speed_pour:
Skimming through that list, there's at least three of those "requirements" which seem a little unlikely...

On a side note, I'm getting really tired of reading pocketnow.com articles that seem to be written by people who haven't got much idea about the market or are just lacking important details. Just look at this other article from them which implies that the WM7 specs aren't likely to be the only ones http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=news&id=7380.

If it's true that those specs are focused on a media-centric phone...which I personally think targets the power-user more than anything...then there's certainly going to be more sets of specs, and not just for the screen sizes, but most likely dropping items like GPS, extremely large screens, and the Compass/Accelerometer. If, in fact, there will be multiple sets of specs, then I'd say they aren't requirements at all....they're guidelines that make interesting news and keep people talking.
[General Questions and Answers] flyboy009:
I think the multiple chassis will be to continue the touchscreen vs non-touchscreen devices. Smartphones are still in demand and I don't think WM7 will remove that alleviate that niche. There will be more similarity between the two, but there will be non-touchscreen windows mobile phones for some time to come.

Hi,

Would anyone with the Mugen 4500mha battery be able to give me the battery dimensions? Specifically the thickness of the battery... is it x2 or x3 times the thickness of the OEM one?

I've recently picked up the Boxwave 2500mha battery with the replacement battery cover and was wondering if the Mugen 4500mha might be able to fit under the same cover or not. The covers Mugen supply with their extended batteries are fugly, but the extreme capacities are tempting.. :)

Thanks.

*Second post is a quick tutorial of all the steps I did*

For the past year+ I lots of problems with my tilt. Terrible keyboard response problems, like the keyboard only working 25% of the time. The touch screen being unresponsive or slow 50% of the time. I've hated my phone. Thought it was just a piece of junk. I soft reset so much I thought the reset button was going to fail.

I tried nearly every new ROM that came out, each time after being dissapointed because my problems remained, then I'd move on to the disable xt9 cab, tilt keyboard fix cab, keyboard speed up cab (which I'm still not sure if works, since I now have my initial keyboard delay set at 0 and I don't know if I see a difference), etc. Tried the touch sensitivity registry edit, installed the (I think) x1 touch sensitivity cab. But nothing seemed to change a thing.

I had realized that most of my issues were software related because sometimes things would work fine (for a couple minutes). I've tried the press the hell out of the keyboard buttons fix that was supposed to regain contact between the key, and the sensor for the keyboard, and pretty much everything out there.

Then I recently installed the HTC ROM for the Tilt, and voila, I have a new phone, works nearly flawlessly.

Since then, I have installed Manila 2d (start with update 20, install everything included, then install the latest version) youtube/opera/google maps/audio manager/pictures etc. all work perfectly, installed the Manila2D v20 N2A patch which fixed the weather tab to show my home town, M2DC and applied a new skin, Total Commander (to move the edited weathercities file), Wstask (awesome), ATT Navigator, Windows Live (great for syncing contacts), and it works perfectly. It's fast. I can use my phone now without the struggle, and am happier than I've been in a long time.

I haven't heard anyone suggesting this so I thought I'd let everyone know. This is the phone I always wanted from my Tilt. I have to assume that the minor hardware differences between versions creates a problem with non-native ROM's, and if you are having problems I recommend trying a factory ROM made for your device, you may be pleasantly surprised.

Dustin

*edit* As I'm sure most know, there are hardware issues with the keyboard for many, this will obviously not fix those issues. However, I was able to fix the massive software issues I've had which also effected the keyboard. I still have a testy Y key, but it's not a huge issue when compared to what it was like before. My phone works great.

Hope this helps you guys. For me it was night and day. Let me know if this helps you guys.

Also, I wonder if there are any ROM cooks out there who are interested in cooking ROM's based on the Tilt ROM. That would be sweeet!!!:D

*edit* I'm not sure about the ROM tmnt.mikey posted, but the link I've posted does not change the radio to that version, I flashed and have radio version 1.65.21.18. I'm not sure what radio I was using pre-flash (oops).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] jonathan.handoyo:
does this work with kaiser as well?

because at&t does not have the front camera...

so if i flash to this rom, will it render my front camera unusable?

not that it's really that important, i'd rather have my keyboard functioning well again.

other than that, is there any complication if i run this on my kaiser?

because in the HTC page, it's said... only for at&t tilt...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Dustintm:
Kaiser ROM

I have no way to know if this ROM will work for the Kaiser, someone would have to try it out and let us know. I can't imagine it would brick the phone, but the keyboard layout is different, and the front camera thing. However, you might look for the latest Kaiser ROM from HTC then apply all the cabs you want and see if that works for you. I installed the ATT ROM, then did a soft reset before the apps were loaded to save space and clutter, then installed just the cabs I prefer.

It's been almost a week now, and it is still working perfectly. I've installed almost 20 different cabs, it is running faster, and more stable than it ever has. I love my phone now. The difference is stunning. I haven't had any issues thus far, and I've never experienced that before. I hit a button and it works, I touch the screen it works. I'm going off about it so much because I want everyone to know this phone is not a lost cause. I'm still a little in shock how well it works. I had written it off, and thought between HTC, and Microsoft that this phone was just going to remain a glitchy pain in the rear. My phone was so difficult to use that I almost stopped texting all together. I was practically marking off each day on the calendar waiting for the remaining year of my contract to run out.

Hi all..

my keyboard also hard to be pressed (X,B,N and fn key),other keys are perfect (easy to be pressed)..

im wondering why did that happen..

im using WM6.1 official for TyTN II,,so nothing is cooked..

anyone knows how to fix this issue?

cause it's so annoying to press thoses button hardly..sigh..

thank you..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] jonathan.handoyo:
i actually followed the link from dustintm...

but the download was not for my area (i'm in singapore)

and you can't download it anyways...

you need to key in your serial number...

and it has to match the region...

so if that really fixed the keyboard problem...

congrats to those guys in the same region as dustintm...

as for why it happened, i also don't know...

i read in some other thread that it's unlikely if it's dust or the rubber...

i also think it has to do with the ROM, since some days my 'a' keys works fine...

Asian TyTN II ROM

Hey Jonathan,

Here is the link to the HTC Asia download page for the TyTN II:

http://www.htc.com/au/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=13&act=sd&cat=all

Just so everyone knows, this ROM change I am talking about does not fix hardware related issues. I still have a testy "y" key, it works most of the time, but I do have to press it harder at times.

Prior to my find, I was having massive keyboard problems, sluggishness, having to press each key multiple times, etc. I was also having similar problems with the touch screen too.

This will not fix a hardware issue (obviously?). But I've found the new factory ROM has made my phone operate almost without flaw... for the first time. Responsive, stable and consistent. I can deal with the "y", I couldn't deal the snetacnes loking lik tihs (sentances looking like this (all the time)), and all the other problems/lock ups, etc.

Dustin
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] trjons:
Keyboard problems sound like a hardware issue. You should try to find a local cellphone store that does repairs.

There is one in L.A. that can fix this for under $50.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Dustintm:
Keyboard Problems

I found that I was experiencing hardware (keyboard), AND software related issues (keyboard, touch screen, sluggishness, and lock-ups). After installing this ROM all software issues have disappeared. I am very certain of this. One example is that occasionally the keyboard would work almost flawlessly (with the exception of the y key) and other times it was a complete struggle, multiple keypresses to register once, delay, etc. That made it clear to me that I was having software related issues.

I imagine it could have been ROM issues, or software related conflicts, but either way, I have solved my problems. I flashed to the latest HTC ATT Tilt ROM, and the following programs/cabs:

If you want to leave out the ATT bloat ware, after you go through the screen align, do a reset. It will fail to run the script for the **** add ons and then you have basically a virgin rom.

Sorry to ask if this is obvious to most, but I'm still learning... Just how do you do these two steps. I am VERY new to M2D and don't know how to use (or what I can do with) Total Commander yet. :eek:

Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Dustintm:
quick answer

Search for m2d themes and find a theme you like. I provided the theme I used in the download if you just want to use that one. There should be a program called m2dc. From this program you can apply the theme you downloaded and put on your phone.

Total Commander can be used to move files into the windows folder that file explorer can't. If you want the local weather for your city and it is not listed on the weather tab then you need to edit the weathercities.xml file I put in the download making a line for your city (edit "Reedsport, OR" (my hometown) replacing it with your cities info on your computer with notepad, then copy weathercities.xml to clipboard (with Total Commander), then past into the windows folder. Now you should be able to select your home city on the weather tab.

Good Luck,

Dustin

Just go to phone options>services. Click on call forwarding and click "get settings". Then change "forward after" to 30 seconds (or however long you would like)

i dont have call forwarding in phone options services. im on sprint not sure if that makes a difference. could it be somewhere else?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] ice_coffee:
search google for "GSM *# commands", you can do it but you will have to type in a long number like *61*(the number to divert to)*(the amount of time before diverting Max 30secs)# then press send,

If you change your rom to a non standard you will probably get the forwarding/divert menu back !

Or just phone your operator and ask for the 30secs max

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] petmanx:
Thanks, this works fine for me..:D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Irisht:
I am not sure about Sprint but I am on at&t and extending ring times is server dependant and only your carrier can extend these times. So instead of ramming your head into a wall trying to find a hack for it just give customer service a call and tell them you need your ring time extended. at&t did it for me and now I ring for 30 seconds instead of the normal 15 seconds.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] hyachts:
Did you even try to do it without calling the carrier? I'm on AT&T and was able to do as the tman1425 describes. It was 20 sec, I changed it to 30 sec. I'm running the leaked AT&T ROM, so nothing special...
